Ok, still no pictures.  But a few updates to the clan roster page.

November 17, 2003

Hi-ho, off we go...

Still no pictures, I will try to get them up this week.  As for all of the certificates for Seekers and other such things.  I will be mailing those all off in the next 2 days.  I almost have everything updated into the database.  Whoa!  Who knew paper work took so much time?

Errata & Clarifications
bullet Dual Cast (MAS001) - This is not a spell.  It is a Mastery Ace and therefore cannot be dispelled.  Spells that are cast using a Dual Cast can be dispelled normally.

In the next few days, I will be putting up a new section to the rules section.  This will be a frequently asked questions (FAQ) area.  General questions that are posted will be answered, hopefully with explanations.  If you wish to ask a question, feel free to post it to the dragonstorm group at yahoo or send me an email at dsguild@hotmail.com.

Dink, dink...

  It is the aftermath of PentaCon.  Wow, what a fun time.  There were several tables run at each of the nine slots and it seemed like everyone had a good time.  Chris Oliver ran four of the first ever clan events for the Ravenwing, Skyrider, Greatflame, and the Black Wind clans  Several of the clan Initiates have been promoted to the status of Seeker. 

  In addition, the 4th Sigil of Elethay was recovered deep within the mountains near Jordania by the Valarian War Master Hank and the Talisman of Freedom was recovered by the Spirit Dancer, Kiiren Perrinor.  A new War Master and was appointed to the werewolf warrior Narn and the Glyph of Mastery was awarded to elven mage, Koryn.   

  Pictures from PentaCon will be coming soon.

Campaign Information

  Just a word on the Black Wind clan.  This clan is currently unknown in the world of Grandilar.  Even the most aged of sages and wisest of scholars have no record of this clan of dragons.  Characters may take the Black Wind bloodline, but they do not know the name of their clan or even where their bloodline comes from. It can be assumed that their bloodline derives from one of the many minor clans of dragons.  If for some reason a character were to meet a member of the Black Wind clan, they would be well advised to keep this in the strictest confidence.

Errata
bullet Drop Kick - Drop Kick can only be used in a bipedal (two-legged) forms.  Only one Drop Kick can be played in a round.
bullet Berserk - A berserk character may only use their action to perform 3 melee attacks.  A berserk character may not play channel cards, cast spells, actively defend, or use dual action, dual strike, slice & slide or perception enhancing cards.  On your initiative, before you make an attack, you may drop the rage and act normally.
bullet Blood Punch - Blood Punch can only be used in your normal, unshifted form and only 1 point forms can be be drained into the Blood Punch.

Please remember that these cards are Beta cards and are in a state of flux.  While they can be used in guild games, they must abide by their current errata.  If these cards are ever released as deluxe cards, the printing on those cards would supercede the beta version.

bullet Fire Wall Bloodline (UNI034) has been removed from the errata page and should be used as printed.
bullet Burning Rage (DRA010) - Burning Rage can only be used when in a dragon form.

Last update before PentaCon.  It is going to be a lot of fun.  I can't wait to see everyone there.  A few site updates, all very minor. 

bullet I have added several new clan members to the Clan Roster pages and I hope we will have a few seekers by the end of PentaCon.
bullet Welcome to our newest War Master - Majik
bullet One of Kassandra's Earrings have been found.

 

Again, a big thanks goes out to Dave Hannigan who has put all of the deluxe cards into an easy to read PDF.  Click here to download it or check it out in the Library.

 

I will be posting the errata for 3 of the pdf Beta cards here shortly.  They will be up here by the end of the night.

Well Chris is going to be at PentaCon and he is running the first Clan events there.  It should be very exciting.  Here are the details.

  The Fourth Sigil of Elethay has been discovered!  Deep in the mountains near Jordania, we have discovered a cave with a magical lock.  The lock appears to be some kind of jigsaw puzzle, minus the puzzle pieces.  In place of the six missing pieces are 6 symbols, 5 represent one of each major ancient draconic clans.  The sixth symbol is an unknown, even to our best scholars and historians.  Our current belief is that each symbol represents a piece that the clans hid to protect the sigil.  Our scholars are researching the clans, and the puzzle lock, while our witches scry for locations of the pieces.

This is a call for all clan members to aid us in the search for the missing puzzle pieces;  A rally to the cause of good!  We are accepting only clan members to quest for the individual pieces, as it is our belief that their unique and special talents will be required to recover each piece of the key.  All Valarians will be welcome to join in the quest once the cavern has been unlocked.  Please respond to me quickly, as we are gathering the questers to set forth on November 7th.

Card updates.

bullet All Foxwing cards should state that Foxwings may fly up to 8 hours. These cards have been changed Foxwings Dragon (DRA007), Foxwings Werewolf (WER002), and Foxwings Sky Dancer (CAS010).  See it in the Errata section.

Well the website has been up for over a month and there have not been to many screams of agony or tears of despair.  Things are progressing and I am greatly anticipating PentaCon this year.  It should be a blast.  We have our first clan events scheduled, as long as Chris Oliver is able to attend.

Just one update for now .  Remember that new updates are in orange.

bullet Mystic Reflexes (VAL008) has been fixed, see it in the Errata section.
September 27, 2003

So far the response to the new site has been positive.  I hope you are enjoying it.  As with all things this big, I did forget a few things.  So things are easier to find, new updates will be written in an orange color.

bullet The Guild Rule for San Con X is now in the Rules - Boons section.
bullet Rules for firing into melee is in the Rules section.
bullet Clarified the ruling for the Bowmaster in the Errata section.
bullet I also updated the Products page for ordering.  In addition, I have created an order form for you use.  Please make sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your order.
bullet I also posted the Storm Warden Perks and Boon Recommendation Forms in the Library section.  Wardens will notice that there is a slight change to these forms.  In addition, we will be introducing some special cards for Storm Wardens - called Storm Warden's Edge.  More details to come.
